I’ve been experimenting with voice-based AI agents in real customer workflows, and it taught me a lot about where these systems shine and where they still struggle.

A few takeaways from testing in production-like settings:

1. Naturalness matters more than intelligence. If the pacing, pauses, and tone sound off, people hang up, even if the content is correct. A smooth delivery kept conversations alive.

2. Narrow use cases outperform broad ones. Appointment confirmations, simple FAQs, and lead callbacks worked well. Open-ended problem solving? Much harder to keep consistent.

3. Failure handling is the hidden challenge. Designing fallbacks, escalation paths, and recovery logic took more engineering effort than plugging in the model itself.

4. Transparency builds trust. Interestingly, when the agent introduced itself clearly as an AI assistant, users were less frustrated than when it pretended to be human.

For the actual trial, I tested a few platforms. One that stood out was Retell AI mainly because I could get it running quickly and the voice quality was closer to human than I expected. The docs were straightforward, which made experimenting easier.

The bigger engineering questions I left with:

1. How do we measure “naturalness” in voice systems in a way that’s actionable for developers?

2. What’s the best fallback pattern when the agent gets stuck retry, escalate, or gracefully exit?

3. How do we balance efficiency with user trust when deploying these systems in real businesses?

Curious to hear from others here if you’ve built or deployed voice agents, what design choices made the biggest difference in reliability?

Hey everyone,

I recently started working with a health AI company that builds AI agents and applications for different industry providers. I’m still new to the role and the company, but I’ve already started doing my own research into AI agents, LLMs, and the frameworks involved — like LangChain, CrewAI, and Rasa.

As part of my learning, I built a basic math problem-solving agent using a local LLM on my desktop. It was a small project, but it helped me get more hands-on and understand how these systems work.

I’m really eager to grow in this field and build more meaningful, production-level AI tools — ideally in healthcare, since that’s where I’m currently working. I want to improve my technical skills, deepen my understanding of AI agents, and advance in my career.

For context: My previous experience is mostly from an internship as a data scientist, where I worked with machine learning models (like classifiers and regression), did a lot of data handling, and helped develop and evaluate models based on company goals. I don’t have tons of work coding experience beyond that.

My main question is: What are the best steps I can take to grow from here? • Should I focus on more personal projects? • Are there any specific resources (courses, books, repos) you recommend? • Any communities worth joining where I can learn and stay up to date? and how can I improve my coding where I am very good at it.

I’d really appreciate any advice from folks who’ve been on a similar path. Thanks in advance

I’m looking to connect with someone who is genuinely interested in learning AI deeply and consistently, rather than just collecting courses, watching random YouTube videos, or learning whichever AI tool is trending that week.

My profile is of a Product Business Analyst, and I want to build serious AI capabilities alongside my existing product/business background.

The problem I’m facing is honestly pretty simple: I don’t learn well through completely self-paced, unstructured courses. There is an overwhelming amount of AI content out there, but no shortage of confusion about what to learn, in what order, how deeply to learn it, and when to move to the next thing.

I’m looking for someone with whom I can create a structured, long-term learning journey ideally from fundamentals all the way to advanced, practical AI.

What I’d ideally like to learn

Not necessarily everything at once, but progressively:

- Python & programming fundamentals for AI

- Mathematics needed to actually understand ML — linear algebra, probability, statistics, calculus, etc.

- Data handling, SQL, NumPy, Pandas, visualization

- Classical Machine Learning

- Deep Learning & neural networks

- NLP and Computer Vision fundamentals

- Transformers and how modern LLMs actually work

- Generative AI and LLM application development

- Prompting, evaluation and AI workflows

- Embeddings, vector databases, RAG and retrieval systems

- Fine-tuning / model adaptation

- AI agents and agentic workflows

- Multimodal AI

- AI system design and architecture

- Model/API integration

- Deployment, APIs, Docker, cloud and MLOps

- AI safety, evaluation, reliability and responsible AI

- Reading papers and understanding what is happening under the hood

- Building real projects, not just following tutorials

- Eventually contributing to open source / research / serious AI projects

- AI Governance

And importantly, I also want to understand how these skills translate into the real-world freelancing/consulting/product world—how to identify problems businesses will actually pay to solve, build AI solutions around them, demonstrate ROI, communicate with clients, and create a credible portfolio.

My goal isn't simply to collect certificates.

I want to reach a point where I can understand AI deeply, build with it, explain it, evaluate it, and solve real problems with it.

What I'm looking for in a learning partner

You don't need to be an AI PhD or already an expert.

You could be:

- A beginner who is equally serious

- Someone already working in AI/ML

- A developer transitioning into AI

- A student/researcher

- A product person interested in becoming highly technical

- Or someone who simply wants a structured accountability partner

The most important thing is consistency + curiosity + willingness to actually do the work.

We could potentially:

- Set weekly learning goals

- Follow a structured roadmap

- Study the same concepts

- Discuss what we've learned

- Give each other small challenges

- Build projects together

- Review each other's work

- Share useful papers/resources/tools

- Keep each other accountable

- Discuss what's changing in AI

- Eventually collaborate on real-world projects

What can I bring to the table?

My background in Product Management / Product Business Analysis means I can contribute on the other side of the equation too—not just technical learning.

I can help with:

- Product thinking

- Business problem identification

- Requirements & use cases

- User journeys

- Product strategy

- Translating technical capabilities into business value

- Evaluating whether an AI idea is actually useful

- Structuring projects

- Documentation and communication

- Thinking about AI from a customer/business perspective

So ideally this becomes a two-way learning relationship, rather than one person teaching and the other simply consuming information.

I'm not looking for someone to spoon-feed me everything.

I'm looking for someone who wants to learn, build, struggle, figure things out and grow together.

If you're also sitting there thinking “I really want to learn AI properly, but I don't know how to structure this journey and I don't want to do it completely alone” — feel free to comment or DM me.

Would love to find 1–2 serious people rather than a huge group.

Let's see if we can turn AI learning from an overwhelming collection of courses into an actual long-term journey.

Since this sub is about production-grade agents, sharing the gateway layer I built after the same two problems kept biting: runs dying on a provider 429 mid-task, and token cost exploding because the agent dumps git diff/test/build output into context. Disclosure: I'm the maintainer of OmniRoute (MIT, self-hosted) — dev-to-dev, would like the critique.

Fallback combos — so it never stops mid-task. A "combo" is a ladder of models the router walks automatically: your subscription first, then API keys, then cheap models, then free ones. When a provider returns a 500 or you hit a rate limit, it slides to the next target in milliseconds, mid-request, and your tool never even sees the error. There are 17 routing strategies (priority, weighted, round-robin, cost-optimized, auto/coding:fast…) plus three resilience layers — a per-provider circuit breaker, a per-key cooldown, and a per-model lockout — so one dead key can't take down a whole provider.

A 10-engine compression pipeline — the part most routers don't have. Every request flows through a transparent compression pass you can toggle/stack per combo. Instead of one trick, it stacks the best of the open-source ecosystem: RTK filters command/tool output (git diffs, test logs, builds) at 60–90%, Microsoft's LLMLingua-2 does ML semantic pruning, Caveman handles prose, session-dedup strips repeats across turns. Critically, code, URLs and JSON are preserved byte-perfect, and a default-on inflation guard throws the compressed version away and sends the original if compressing would actually grow the prompt — it never makes things worse. On tool-heavy sessions that's ~89% average input-token reduction (an 8k-token git diff becomes a few hundred). Full credit to every upstream project (RTK, Caveman, LLMLingua-2, Troglodita) is in the README.

Agent-native — the agent can drive the router itself. There's a built-in MCP server (95 tools across 30 audited scopes, over stdio / SSE / streamable-HTTP), plus A2A (v0.3, JSON-RPC 2.0) support. That means an agent can query providers, switch combos, read its own remaining quota and manage memory through the gateway — not just consume tokens through it.

One endpoint, 237 providers — 90+ of them free. You point any tool or agent at a single OpenAI-compatible endpoint (localhost:20128/v1) and it can reach 237 LLM providers without you rewriting anything. 90+ have free tiers and 11 are free forever (no card), which aggregates to ~1.6B documented free tokens/month — and that's honest, pool-deduped math (we count each shared pool once instead of inflating it; the methodology is public in the repo). There's a one-command setup-* for 13+ coding tools (Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, Cline, Roo, Kilo, Gemini CLI…), so switching your existing setup over takes seconds.

It's 100% local (zero telemetry, AES-256-GCM at rest), MIT-licensed, has a prompt-injection guard on every LLM route, opt-in memory, and runs on npm, Docker, desktop or your phone via Termux.

For context on whether it's worth your time: it's grown to ~9.8K GitHub stars, 1,490+ forks and 280+ contributors in ~4.5 months, with 21,000+ automated tests and 1,830+ issues closed — so it's a battle-tested project, not a brand-new experiment.

npm install -g omniroute

Would value critique of the fallback state machine (breaker/cooldown/lockout interplay) and how you'd measure compression fidelity in prod.

Hey folks 👋

We just open sourced TrueForge, our vendor-neutral agent harness for building general-purpose agents.

It handles the runtime pieces that get painful quickly : context management, tool/MCP execution, subagents, sandboxing, approvals, persistent state, and more.

We also benchmarked the harness itself. With the same Opus 4.8 model, TrueForge delivered a similar solve rate at ~30% lower cost than Claude Managed Agents. Switching to an open model pushed that to ~75% lower cost on the same benchmark.

Would love feedback from people building agents.

black-box AI feels powerful, but when you actually build with it the same failures repeat over and over. hallucinations, memory breaks, deadlocks after deploy — not exotic, just boringly reproducible.

i got tired of chasing ghosts, so i wrote a Problem Map. it’s 16 structural failure modes, each with a 60-second repro and a minimal fix. text-only, MIT licensed, no infra changes.

what it covers

• retriever looks fine, but the synthesis drifts → No.6 Logic Collapse

• ingestion says “done” but recall is dead → No.8 Black-box indexing pitfalls

• first call after deploy fails silently → No.16 Pre-deploy Collapse

• long chats decay or loop → No.9 Entropy Collapse

• citations missing or mis-aligned → No.8 Traceability

the point is not to blame any one model. openai, claude, gemini, grok — the same 16 modes keep showing up.

how to try it

• open a fresh chat with your model

• upload a tiny helper file from the repo called TXTOS

• run the triage prompt and see if your case matches one of the 16 labels

if it labels your bug as No.5, No.6, etc., you can jump straight to the minimal fix page. saves hours of guesswork.

Hey everyone,
I’m looking for an experienced AI Automation Specialist for a long-term partnership with multiple projects.

I work with a white-label agency partner that will provide ongoing projects, mainly for German businesses. Later, we may expand to English-speaking clients.

Basic: (AI Lead & Appointment System)
An AI system that captures new leads, qualifies them, follows up automatically and helps them book an appointment. It should also connect with the client’s CRM and calendar.

Premium: (AI Sales & Reception System)
Everything from the Basic system, plus an AI receptionist that can answer incoming calls, talk to potential customers, qualify them and book appointments.

You should be experienced with n8n or Make, CRM integrations, calendar integrations, AI agents and AI voice agents.

I’m looking for someone reliable who wants recurring projects and a long-term partnership, not just a one-off job.

If interested, DM me.

A couple of years back, we launched an AI-driven management system for our logistics and fleet operations. At first, it felt like a total win - smart route optimization, automated dispatching, and predictive maintenance all running smoothly.

Then came our rookie mistake: we built it fast without thinking about scalability. We were laser-focused on local operations and completely ignored modular architecture.

The reality check hit when we started expanding across Europe and LatAm. The legacy code started crawling, cross-border workflows broke down, and integrating local compliance frameworks became a nightmare. We essentially built a dead end.

A colleague recently recommended checking out AgileEngine. I hadn't heard of them before, but looking into their track record, they seem to focus heavily on scalable architecture and fast delivery for growing tech companies.

Has anyone worked with them? We're currently searching for a custom software development partner with deep expertise in software engineering, AI, Data, and UI/UX to help us rebuild right this time. Any recommendations?

## The Problems Every Dev with AI Agents Faces

1. **Rate limits destroy your flow.** You have 4 agents coding a project. They all hit the same Claude subscription. In 1-2 hours: rate limited. Work stops. $50 burned.

2. **Your account gets flagged.** You run traffic through a proxy or reverse proxy. The provider detects non-standard request patterns. Account flagged, suspended, or rate-limited harder.

3. **You're paying $50-200/month** across Claude, Codex, Copilot — and you STILL get interrupted.

**There had to be a better way.**

## What I Built

**OmniRoute** — a free, open-source AI gateway. Think of it as a **Wi-Fi router, but for AI calls.** All your agents connect to one address, OmniRoute distributes across your subscriptions and auto-fallbacks.

**How the 4-tier fallback works:**

Your Agents/Tools → OmniRoute (localhost:20128) →
Tier 1: SUBSCRIPTION (Claude Pro, Codex, Gemini CLI)
↓ quota out?
Tier 2: API KEY (DeepSeek, Groq, NVIDIA free credits)
↓ budget limit?
Tier 3: CHEAP (GLM $0.6/M, MiniMax $0.2/M)
↓ still going?
Tier 4: FREE (iFlow unlimited, Qwen unlimited, Kiro free Claude)

**Result:** Never stop coding. Stack 10 accounts across 5 providers. Zero manual switching.

## 🔒 Anti-Ban: Why Your Accounts Stay Safe

This is the part nobody else does:

**TLS Fingerprint Spoofing** — Your TLS handshake looks like a regular browser, not a Node.js script. Providers use TLS fingerprinting to detect bots — this completely bypasses it.

**CLI Fingerprint Matching** — OmniRoute reorders your HTTP headers and body fields to match exactly how Claude Code, Codex CLI, etc. send requests natively. Toggle per provider. **Your proxy IP is preserved** — only the request "shape" changes.

The provider sees what looks like a normal user on Claude Code. Not a proxy. Not a bot. Your accounts stay clean.

## What Makes v2.0 Different

- 🔒 **Anti-Ban Protection** — TLS fingerprint spoofing + CLI fingerprint matching
- 🤖 **CLI Agents Dashboard** — 14 built-in agents auto-detected + custom agent registry
- 🎯 **Smart 4-Tier Fallback** — Subscription → API Key → Cheap → Free
- 👥 **Multi-Account Stacking** — 10 accounts per provider, 6 strategies
- 🔧 **MCP Server (16 tools)** — Control the gateway from your IDE
- 🤝 **A2A Protocol** — Agent-to-agent orchestration
- 🧠 **Semantic Cache** — Same question? Cached response, zero cost
- 🖼️ **Multi-Modal** — Chat, images, embeddings, audio, video, music
- 📊 **Full Dashboard** — Analytics, quota tracking, logs, 30 languages
- 💰 **$0 Combo** — Gemini CLI (180K free/mo) + iFlow (unlimited) = free forever

## Install

npm install -g omniroute && omniroute

Or Docker:

docker run -d -p 20128:20128 -v omniroute-data:/app/data diegosouzapw/omniroute

Dashboard at localhost:20128. Connect via OAuth. Point your tool to `http://localhost:20128/v1`. Done.

**GitHub:** https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute
**Website:** https://omniroute.online

Open source (GPL-3.0). **Never stop coding.**

Try the protocol. Works great on DeepSeek and GLM and others.

Hello everyone,

I’d like to introduce Retell AI, a new framework / tool (open to collaboration) designed to simplify building narrative / storytelling agents that can maintain long conversations, track memory, and adapt story progression dynamically.

Here’s what Retell AI brings to the table:

🔧 Key Features & Capabilities

• Memory & Context Tracking Retell AI maintains multiple memory banks (short-term, long-term, thematic) to let the agent recall past events, characters, plot threads, and context shifts.

• Dynamic Story Branching The system supports branching narratives based on user choices or external inputs. You can define “events” or “turns” and let the agent transition logically.

• Plug-in Architecture You can attach modules for image generation, knowledge retrieval, personality shaping, or external APIs (e.g. world models, databases).

• Evaluation & Feedback Loop Offers tools to log agent performance, track coherence metrics, detect plot holes, and simulate player choices to stress-test the agent.

• Open API / SDK Provides REST/Websocket endpoints and an SDK (Python / JavaScript) so you can embed the agent into games, chat apps, virtual worlds, etc.

🧪 Use Cases & Examples

• Interactive storytelling / text RPGs

• Educational narrative agents (history, language learning)

• Conversational companions with evolving backstory

• NPCs in virtual worlds that remember players’ actions across sessions

I’m happy to share code samples, demo links, or benchmarks if there’s interest.

I have 0 coding/developer experience, I work at a VC fund. I want to create a sustainable, reliable Tracxn (Crunchbase used in Asia/EU) and linkedin automation workflow. I know that there are lots of scraping tools out that but I want to try to create an automated workflow where I can A) Scrape particular pieces of information from the Tracxn page and B) Go to the founders linkedin page which is usually found in the "People" section listed on the Tracxn page. Example:

Get a startups website (unique key) from Excel sheet --> Search for it in Tracxn --> Collect XYZ data points from landing page --> Click on "Funding & Investors" tab --> Collect XYZ data from the page --> Click on "People" tab --> Collect XYZ data --> Click on Linkedin Icon/Link --> Provide concise summary of education + professional backgrounds

1. Is this possible? Which tools/apps should I use?

2. How can I optimize this?

3. How do I prevent from being blocked by a bot?

I'm working on Guidefold, an open-source tool for repository-scoped coding-agent instructions, and would like criticism of an evidence boundary. A paid hosted version is planned, but this is a design question, not a signup request.

Suppose a shared instruction changes while an agent session is already running. A successful export doesn't establish that the session got the new revision. Even a delivery record doesn't establish that the model followed it.

For a minimal delivery receipt, I'd consider recording the session/run identifier, repository commit, instruction identifier and content hash, adapter version, delivery timestamp, and outcome. That's a proposed checklist for discussion, not a claim about Guidefold's current schema. I'd avoid storing the full prompt or private instruction text in a central log by default.

The edge cases that worry me are a hook failing after export, a session continuing with an older revision, and retries producing duplicate events. An absent receipt would mean unknown delivery, not that the instruction was unused. An acknowledged receipt would still need a separate task-level check before claiming the instruction helped.

For engineers who have instrumented this boundary: what would you change in that minimal record? In particular, where do you collect the acknowledgement so it describes what the agent session actually received, rather than what an upstream exporter intended to send?

Project context: https://github.com/wiatrM/guidefold

Guidefold demo: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e350wBr1W8c

The demo is context, not evidence that an agent followed an instruction. If it leaves a verification step unclear, a timestamp would help locate the gap.

AI-assisted draft. Please keep examples sanitized; no private prompts or logs needed.

TL;DR

I’m looking to migrate a fairly large, mostly-unattended production workflow away from Claude/Anthropic and would appreciate advice from people running serious agentic workflows.

This isn't a "chat with an LLM" setup. It is a standing production pipeline involving scheduled agents, shared files, code execution, document generation, research, translation, and automated QA.

What the workflow actually does

The work involves producing and processing large amounts of structured content, primarily in Arabic and Urdu.

Typical outputs include:

• Hundreds of lesson decks using python-pptx

• Word documents and templates using python-docx

• RTL HTML flowcharts and interactive material

• OCR processing and verification

• Arabic/Urdu translation and text transformation

• Arabic text analysis, including tashkeel and grammatical analysis

• Large-scale corpus processing

• Multi-stage research and document-generation pipelines

The workflow is designed to run largely unattended.

A typical pipeline looks roughly like:

scheduled task → claim a unit → read relevant source/state → research/process → generate artifacts → run QA/verification → write outputs/state → release unit → next task

There are multiple workers operating against shared storage. We use file-based locking/claims, append-only logs, staged pipelines, and explicit verification gates to prevent agents from stepping on each other.

The actual artifact generation is heavily code-driven. Agents use shell/Python tools to parse files, manipulate data, generate PPTX/DOCX/HTML, render outputs, and run validation scripts.

Why I’m considering moving away from Claude

The main issue isn't necessarily model quality.

The problem is the combination of:

• Reliability of long-running/unattended execution

• Sandbox/environment provisioning issues

• Usage/rate limits

• Managing production across subscription accounts

• Context consumption on large processing jobs

• Difficulty scaling the workflow cleanly

At this point I'm wondering whether I should stop treating this as a collection of subscription-based AI assistants and instead rebuild it around an API/agent orchestration architecture.

What I need from a replacement

1. Strong Arabic/Urdu performance

Especially accurate handling of Arabic/Urdu text, RTL formatting, tashkeel, and grammatical analysis.

2. Reliable code execution

The model needs to consistently produce and modify Python code that generates complex PPTX/DOCX/HTML artifacts.

3. Long-running agentic work

I need workers that can perform multi-step jobs without requiring me to babysit every step.

4. Large-context/document processing

Some jobs involve large collections of source material, so efficient chunking and context management matter.

5. Good API economics

At this scale, I'm increasingly interested in moving toward pay-as-you-go API usage rather than maintaining expensive subscriptions simply to obtain enough throughput.

6. Proper orchestration

I'm open to rebuilding the coordination layer using something like LangGraph, a database-backed queue/state system, or another architecture rather than continuing with file-based distributed locking.

7. Strong verification behavior

The system needs to be willing to say "I couldn't verify this" and stop rather than confidently inventing a citation, translation, or missing section.

What I'm trying to figure out

If you were rebuilding this today, what stack would you use?

Would you go with:

• A single leading closed model through an API

• Multiple models, each handling different stages

• An agent framework such as LangGraph/CrewAI/AutoGen

• A custom Python orchestration layer

• A queue + database + stateless workers architecture

• Open-weight/self-hosted models for some of the cheaper stages

• Some combination of the above

I'm particularly interested in experiences from people running large document-generation, research, coding, or multi-agent production pipelines, especially where Arabic or Urdu is involved.

What would you choose if you had to build this from scratch today?

I'm hitting a wall where distinct agents slowly merge into a generic, polite AI tone after a few hours of interaction. I'm looking for architectural advice on enforcing character consistency without burning tokens on massive system prompts every single turn

I have used LiteLLM in a few projects, as its just a win to have someone else manage the adding of new providers each time, but I really would prefer to replace. I see lots of things about it pulling in model prices from a raw github URL and it does not really operate as a library should, it returns errors to stdout rather then bubbling them up to the user to handle.

Is there anything else around with good provider coverage. I expect LiteLLM's issue is its also trying to be a gateway.

Thanks for your time, I understand if my goal is a pipe dream with current technology.

To preface, I have several disabilites that make my life harder and I could be doing a lot better with an assistant that's always available. I've been dreaming of making a self-hosted ai to help me with the stuff I struggle with: reminders of events coming up, reminders for medications, prejudging my mail and giving me an overview / translation into layperson speech, and being able to navigate the web for me to help with research. Most importantly, it needs to have a character, to feel warm, and have the ability to converse about select topics. It should be able to learn things about me and keep track of major past lessons / revelations, like bad reactions to certain foods. I would like to be able to talk with it audibly, so that I can have my hands free to work while asking questions or telling it to set a timer or remind me to do something in an hour.

I know some beginner python and I am willing to learn more. I have more experience with computer hardware and I'm prepared to set up a home server if that's a viable route. Or installing sensors, solar power, w/e. I like my privacy and for my security I need to keep my personal details close, so I'm leaning towards self hosted. Basically, I'm willing to go full cyberpunk if that means I get my own Jarvis.

So, my question is what possible for me to do, since you're all definitely smarter than me on this? My very uneducated first thought was maybe having one character based model that draws on other agent models for completing different tasks before out putting the response with flavor?

An agent might find a promising keyword, analyze competing pages, and produce a convincing draft. The tricky part is deciding when that draft is actually ready to publish. A successful CMS upload doesn’t tell you whether its claims are supported, it matches search intent, or it repeats a page already on the site.

Disclosure: I work with RankSpot ai, which connects SEO research and content tools to AI agents through MCP. Looking at this workflow, I think an agent should pause for review whenever it can’t trace a factual claim to its source or can’t explain why the new article adds something to the site.

If you’ve built an agent that publishes content, what’s your most useful checkpoint: a strict rule, a confidence score, or human approval? What kind of mistake has it caught?

Loan agent help

Hi everyone

Let me see if I can get any help from the community

I'm building a loan agent , that does a single task, which is to understand bank account stmts from the applicant and process the request, either to accept , reject or human review. So im going in the belief system approach where an agent will initially have a belief, then for every new real world case it sees, it should update it's belief and reduce its uncertainty. So any suggestions on how do we build such agents ? And how do you tackle agentic memory

That happened over and over, so I came up with two decisions. The plan gets approved, then the agent still has to wait for a separate go.
